a promise is a promise ;)

Yes, I TRY to keep MOST promises :)

Yesterday I spent a Day In The Country with lots of like-minded ladies. Kerry from Cottage on the Hill, Nundle and her band of happy helpers hosted yet another wonderful day of stitching bliss. Anni from The Home Patch, Bathurst was the guest tutor, and, as always, her designs were scrumdillygorgeous. I was excited to catch up with a special friend Sheryl. She has a great story about the day on her blog. Pop on over and check out her photos. My purse is random........

......and, as you can see, very UNfinished....be kind....I DID do a lot of networking, chatting and ooohahhhing over others' creations!!

The other project for the day was a wallhanging......

....(excuse the dappled shade from the grapevine)...the fabrics by Blackbird Designs are beautiful and have an almost Liberty feel to them. This project involves needleturn applique and stitchery....I have -sort of promised myself- that I will get my chubby fingers to do the needleturn...it seems that a long Millinery needle is best to use...it sweeps the edges under as you stitch...who would have thought???!

As you are all aware, I am a VERY slack blogger, but yesterday I made a promise to LOTS of fellow bloggers and non-blogging lurkers..(hello Julie!)that I would do a post, so chickadees, her it is :) Hope you enjoyed it, and perhaps I will be back soon!
